How Many Bikes (ss/fg) Do You Have?
I've decided that I need/want a new FG just to mess around on.
But I'm curious about who has multiple bikes that essentially serve the same purpose? I had two fixies but I gave one to my friend (I'm a nice guy like that) and now I'm thinking I need to get another one, in case something happens to my only one.
So the question is, how many FG/SS bikes that serve the same purpose do you have?

1 Fixed / SS, starting my second build next week will end up with 2 SS / fixed, but that seems slightly redundant, so I'll probably just sell the first one.

The Gran Sport is a pretty little thing... have removed the rack and fitted a Fizik saddle since I took this pic... will probably be selling her if I find a good home.
The polo bike is an old Canadian Tire road bike...

I have one bike. It's my fixed gear. By the end of the year I'll be building a second bike. Also fixed.

1 Kilo fixed that serves as my all weather/ fat rubber and risers / comfy fun bike.
1 Felt TK2 that is my fast/ non-lockup/ hope to hit the track soon bike.
1 Rossin road bike for long trips and when I don't feel like fixed.
1 SS converted Trek MTB that is honestly the most comfortable, and a really fun city bike/ winter ride.

More guitars than bikes.
I suppose, technically, I have two Surly Steamrollers. One maroon, and one cream. But the creamroller's currently in the hands of a bike thief. (The maroon one is its replacement.)

The number of fg bikes now equals the number of bikes with gears.
